On DU one can easily stir up a hornet's nest over whether the Obama administration has “thrown under the bus” GLBT issues people, environmentalists or the ‘financial reform’ process. Even the RKBA has the potential to inflame debate as there are plenty of otherwise ‘liberal’ posters who are hunters, ex military and otherwise opposed to ‘gun grabbers’ these being separate from the mere”purist” vs Pragmatist” general strain of argumentation that plays out on every political board.
On FR it really DOES sadden and concern me to see discord between Catholics, Mormons and Evangelical Protestants and even other/non believers who otherwise are on board with an agenda of fiscal conservatism and adherence to constitutional principles- when *ALL* should be fighting the socialism, incompetence and general moral turpitude of Democrats, RINOs and their ilk. The ‘culture clashes’ between the moralists and the libertarian strands of conservatism are no where nearly as acrimonious; I am working on a vanity that actually argues that a good bit of the ability of the conservative movement's ability to periodically revitalize itself is derived from the ‘genetic diversity’ of the disparate approaches to liberty, but that's another post.
Observe who throws the ‘hand grenade’, for those who sow the wind shall reap the whirlwind.
WOW, you make tons of sense!
